I-Marketer Blog and Newsletter

Hello devoted I-Marketer  readers and subscribers!
I thought I would check in with those of you that
invested in the “Niche Blog Affiliate Profits” product
a while back.  For under ten bucks it packed alot of
info and it probably took you a while to get through
it and all of the bonuses.

So…. how’s it coming?  Are you realizing that blogs
are proving to be more and more effective in producing
steady streams of income?  The different revenue streams
and ways of setting up blogs to earn a profit is limited
only by your imagination.

That brings me to the reason for this post.  I plan on
periodically “showcasing” or more accurately, reviewing
blogs that are super effective within their niche at
pulling in a profit.  The plan is to also give a detailed
explanation as to why certain blogs pull in more consistent
profits compared to other blogs within the same industry
or niche.

So, let’s get to it.

The first blog I wanted to review and introduce you to,
in case you aren’t already familiar with it is written by
James D. Brausch.  It’s called “Internet Business 101″.

The first thing you’ll notice is how “clean” and simple
this blog is.  There’s no flashing banners or distracting
ads or anything that is going to distract you from reading
the mostly powerful and hard-hitting messages that he posts
to it.

“Hard-hitting” may be a little dramatic in describing his
writing style but the point is that when he writes something
it is written from a position of authority.  You know that
you are reading information from someone who is in the
trenches and knows what he’s talking about in the Internet
Marketing industry.

From the shortest posts on his blog to the more lengthy
ones, you know your dealing with someone who is speaking
from a position of experience.  Someone who is “in it”
everyday taking action and making things happen for his
business.

It’s also a nice change to read about the results he gets
from the different things that he tries as far as getting
more traffic and converting that traffic etc.  It’s a nice
change because while most marketers that are in the know
about using different tricks and techniques in their Internet
Businesses are super-secretive until they can figure out how
to turn their findings into a product to sell, James shares
alot of his findings freely.

He’s a skillful copywriter in his own right that knows how
to weave a completely relative offer into a really helpful
article.  He’s perfected that balancing act as well as anyone
I’ve seen.

His blog gets tons of traffic.  It’s listed #6 in the
natural search listings on Google for the term “Internet
Business” (this term gets about 300 searches a day on Google
according to Wordtracker)

James is an expert at getting people engaged in his blogs.
He gets people to interact and take whatever action he is
asking them to such as sign up to be an Intern, get the
password to certain blog posts and to buy his products.

One of the most unique and brilliant things I’ve seen James
do recently is set up an Intern program that has very specific
instructions for the Interns to follow. This does 2 things. 
One – teaches the Interns the basics of Internet Marketing
and what you should be doing everyday to generate traffic and
ultimately make sales.  And, two – the methods, techniques
and tricks he teaches the Interns are methods that generate
traffic for James’ blogs and websites.

It’s truly a win-win situation.  The Intern gets free mentoring
and even can get paid based on good performance, and James
builds more traffic to his blogs and websites which turn into
revenue for his business.

Another example of James’ innovative thinking in order to
get people to interact on his blog or get people to keep coming
back to his blog is through the use of stories. (which are a
cornerstone of good copywriting)

I’ve been following James’ blog very closely lately, waiting
impatiently at times for his next post. Over the last couple
of weeks he’s been writing a fictional story based on facts
about his life that tell his background, how he got started
in his Internet Business, how he kicked drug addiction and
turned his life around and now runs a very successful Internet
Business operated part-time from Costa Rica.

Throughout the whole story he gives you exact step-by-step
methods for getting your own Internet Business started or
what you should be doing in your Internet Business on a
day-to-day basis if you already have an Internet Business.

As a matter of fact, the end of the story is this evening.
He’s posting a series of 4 parts today that he says are the
“end of the story posts”.

The day after Christmas he is going to change the password
that allows the blog readers to read this intriquing story.

So, if you want some excellent marketing, business and life
lessons and an excellent story I would suggest that you get
over to James’ blog and get the password and read as much of
the story as you can before the password changes!

About the only complaint I have at this point about James
D. Brausch’s blog is that he doesn’t offer a monthly paid version
(as a trial period) for his physical $300 per year newsletter. 
But, from what I’ve read and experienced from reading his blog for
the last month or so, it is probably worth it.

If you want to get an idea for a very basic, simple and
effective design or model for your own blog, you might want
to check out Internet Business 101.

Here’s the link again James D. Brausch’s Internet Business 101.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday,
